Yeah, "nand" is really "not and" (ie "~((x)&(y))").

The expression ((x) & ~(y)) should typically be called "andn" (see for
example the x86 instruction set "pandn" and "andnpd" or whatever they
are called for sse instructions).

And "nor" really should be "~(x|y)". You want the "orn" combination
(and the famously hard-to-google "porn" instruction for the vectorized
version)
